I’m a nurse, and I have seven kids and I’ll be honest, this saves lives. I trusted my 3 year old with my inlaws one afternoon and they took him to the pool and they weren’t watching him closely. He was top heavy and bouncing in water and his feet went over his head. He spent 6 min under water, received 17 min of cpr and barely survived. He’s now 24, and overall has done great, but he was in icu for a week and seeing these babies able to get to the surface and knowing that would have saved him his near death experience gets me every time❤️
